As for restaurants, that would depend on what types of food you like and how much you want to spend. Between Maryland, DC and Virginia, there are a number of very good ethnic restaurants as well. Most of the museums and other attractions are free and well worth the trip. You could spend several days just checking out all the attractions down on the mall. High on my list would be the Museum of Natural History, Air and Space and the Indian Museum. All of these are right on the mall and you walk to them easily. The National Zoo is also on my list if the weather is nice.

Its Leigh, just got home, depends on where you are staying, but there are of course all of the amazing museums in DC, right over the line in VA is the spy museum and news museum. There is also the DC zoo, famous. Georgetown is a must do. An adventure would be to drive over to Annapolis, MD and Fells Point. Another adventure would be off to the Baltimore aquarium in the harbor area with great seafood. When it gets closer let me know and where you all are staying and I can go further into details. The kennedy center for a show is also fantastic and the fords theater.

Excellent.
Food is wide open. We like all kinds of ethnic food as well as fine dining and deli/bistro/cafe.
Keep the ideas coming.
